Dr. Lee Savoia — classically trained physician, acupuncturist, and longtime Maverick — joins the CI Mavericks podcast to discuss SavviSound, a frequency-based wellness app she’s building to make energy medicine available to anyone, anywhere.

I. Thirty Years of Medicine, One Surprising Conclusion

Dr. Savoia graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine and spent her career across disciplines — aviation medicine, family medicine, interventional pain medicine. Over the final five to seven years of her active clinical practice, a clear pattern emerged: the approach that consistently delivered the best outcomes wasn’t a pharmaceutical. It was traditional Eastern medicine — acupuncture, layered with integrative supplements, diet, and hormonal support. When she left clinical practice, her decision was clear: find a way to make that care accessible worldwide.

II. The Science: Rivers of Energy

In Eastern medicine, the body contains multiple sets of energy channels — what Western science calls meridians. Think of them as train tracks, electrical circuits, or rivers running through the body. We are each born with one dominant channel that does the heaviest work of keeping us well.

“When someone has an illness, it’s dis-ease — uneasiness — and it’s blockage of your energy channel. The energy channel that blocks first is usually that main energy channel.” — Dr. Lee Savoia

Traditionally, blockages are cleared with acupuncture needles. But there’s another way: sound. Sound is a pressure wave — and pressure waves push energy along the same channels acupuncture targets. The human body is approximately 60% water, and sound travels four times faster through water than through air. Hydrated people benefit dramatically more from sound-based treatment.

“SavviSound utilizes the Western principle of sound waves to clear your main energy channel. That’s really what it does.” — Dr. Lee Savoia

III. Trial Results

Nine of 19 participants — almost 50% — had significant improvement. All shared two things: optimal hydration and full-body sound exposure. Four of those nine reported 80–90% improvement in physical health, mental health, and quality of life after one month of twice-daily sessions.

Cases included: resolution of trauma-related chronic pain; a Crohn’s patient whose systolic blood pressure dropped 20 mmHg; an acute meniscal knee injury resolved over a single weekend; menopausal symptoms that disappeared — confirmed when symptoms returned after stopping and resolved again on restart; and a man with metastatic cancer sleeping through the night for the first time in months, with pain reduced 30%.

IV. How It Works

1. One-time personality assessment — A 5-minute questionnaire identifies your dominant energy channel. Inborn, doesn’t change.

2. Twice-daily tuneups — Two preset 15-minute sessions. Use it while getting ready, doing homework with your kids, or going about your day. No gym. No meditation. No change of clothes.

3. Hydrate — The app calculates your optimal hydration level. Hydration is the difference between the treatment working and not.

4. Journal Progress — Monthly prompts log improvements across physical health, mental health, and quality of life.

“It’s designed to be totally convenient and not take time away from your schedule. You don’t have to stop and meditate. You don’t have to go to a gym.” — Dr. Lee Savoia

V. Coming to App Stores in July

SavviSound has completed three rounds of beta testing and is now in its fourth revision. Several Maverick community members contributed to the final product. Dr. Savoia will return to the CI Mavericks podcast at launch for a live demonstration.
